I always called Liege, and the broader Wallonia region, French because that's what they called themselves to me when I lived there. I think they hated the Flanders region even more than they hated America. They celebrate independence on July 14th with France and just pretended the Battle of Waterloo never occurred. It was a bizarre place to live, but maybe I'm just salty because I was accused of inciting a diplomatic incident there.
But thanks for correcting my lived experience with a "well actually..." 🙄 I hope it felt good
